Future Themes Forum 2024

We want to talk to YOU to help us shape our exhibition themes for 2026 and beyond by discussing these questions:

• What gets you excited about the future?
• What are the critical issues we really need to figure out?
• What are we not paying enough attention to?

By spending the day together having these broad conversations, we hope to understand our collective priorities and dreams and use these to shape our future exhibitions. 

In 2019 & 2021 MOD. ran it's first 2 Future Theme Forums, days of broad and deep large group conversations on our future hopes and fears. 

These intense and wide-ranging conversations have since shaped our exhibitions, UP CLOSE, INVISIBILITY, EUCALARA COMMONS and BROKEN. 

The Details 

We will be led by Michael Radke, Co-Founder and Executive Director of The Ubuntu Lab with a global reputation for his work in informal education in service of social change. Mike will guide us through an Open Space process where every contribution counts.  

This is a full day commitment that will take place at MOD. on Monday 29th July, from 9:30am – 3:15 pm. Feel free to arrive from 9 am to settle in and enjoy a morning coffee and/or sweet. 

Lunch and fruit will be provided.
